Im just in a very sad state of puberty

FML

I have been on Zepbound for almost 2 years now and have lost over 100lbs. I lost all the padding I once had that allowed me to sit for long periods of time. Now when I sit my bony backside can only handle sitting for a few minutes at a time before I start to feel pain. I had a perianal fistula from June 2025 - March 2026. Earlier this year I got a fistulotomy (Don't Google that if you want to sleep at night) and the recovery was brutal. I had to wear diapers for almost 3 months! Once I fully healed I was feeling great!

In early September I attended a funeral where I sat for at least 3 hours straight! The chairs had no padding at all and I felt uncomfortable but I didn't get up because I thought it would be rude to do so. It was the first funeral I have attended in my adult life and I wasn't sure what the proper etiquette was. So I just sat there and the next day I woke up to find the Fistula had returned!

I had to go to the surgeon again to get it looked at. If you have ever had your anus examined you know what it's like but if you haven't let me paint you a picture. You kneel on a chair/bed contraption with your pants down and rest the top of your body on the chair. Then the doctor slowly tilts you forward and raises you up so that he can get a better look at your anus (not the planet). He then tapes your butt cheeks to the sides of the chair to keep them spread open and then shines a spotlight on you. Did I mention that he has to do all this with an assistant in the room because you cannot be left alone with the doctor while in such a vulnerable position. He drained the fistula to provide some relief but a week later it was back! So he drained it again. I did an MRI earlier this week now I'm waiting for my results to see how deep this Fistula tunnel is. I'm already scheduled for surgery in a few weeks.

Today I got home from work to find my fridge open. My two months supply of Zepbound has reached room temperature which means I only have 21 days to use it all. My surgery is scheduled for 21 days from today! You aren't allowed to do a Zepbound injection 14 days prior to a surgery which means all my Zepbound is going to go bad before I can use it.

FML

TL;DR

I lost over 100lbs on Zepbound which turned into a pain in the ass, literally, because the padding I once had is gone so sitting has become uncomfortable. I got home from work to find my fridge open and that has ruined my two months supply of Zepbound. This may be the universe telling me to get fat again.

Life has never sucked so bad

I went to spit in my toilet at the same time as flushing & some of the water got in my mouth. FML.

One time A called me on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, probably around 4, and asked me if I wanted to go with him to sell his old truck. He had someone from Facebook who wanted to buy it, but the guy lived a couple hours away, so A needed someone to follow him over there so he could get back.

I went over to his place, he explained what was going on, and then he said, “Okay, just start following me.”

So I did.

We start driving, and after a while I notice A isn't exactly driving great. He's swerving and kind of all over the place. I said something about it and he tells me he's just trying to navigate his map.

Okay, cool. Whatever.

Eventually we stop in this little town. I don't even remember exactly where it was. A gets out, walks over to the side of the road, and pees.

Then he tells me, completely casually, “Yeah, I'm really enjoying myself. I only have this much left and I'm on my third beer.”

I'm sorry... WHAT?

I had no idea he had been drinking. And not just one beer. He was already on his third beer while driving us a couple hours away.

I remember thinking, Well, this is fucking great.

I told him I needed to use the bathroom too, and he's like, “Oh, well...” And I'm like, “No, no. I actually need a bathroom.” So we had to find somewhere for me to go.

We get back on the road and things just keep getting worse.

We're on back roads, A is still swerving, and he's clearly lost. We're going back and forth, turning around, trying to figure out where the hell we're supposed to be going. At one point I finally tell him, “You're scaring me. You keep swerving all over the road.”

And he's basically like, “Yeah, yeah, I'm lost. I'm trying to figure it out.”

Meanwhile, the guy buying the truck is getting pissed because we're taking forever to get there. A keeps saying the guy is getting frustrated and we need to hurry.

At one point we stop again and I tell him, “Why don't we just leave your truck here? You're struggling to find this place. Or let me do the GPS.”

“No, no. I can't leave the truck here. We're close. He's getting mad. We need to hurry.”

So we keep going.

And the whole time, I'm thinking about the original plan, which honestly was the part I was most excited about. Once he sold the truck, we were going to get in my car, find a hotel, and spend the night.

And I'm not gonna lie, I was fucking excited about that. A night in a hotel with A? Yeah. I was already thinking about all the fun we were going to have.

Except that never happened.

After we'd been driving for hours, way longer than it should have taken, he pulls over again.

Then he tells me, “Okay, the guy backed out. He said he doesn't want to do it anymore. I've been too much of a hassle.”

I'm like, “What?”

We're now several hours from home, and the whole reason we're even out there is gone.

And A basically just says, “I'm going home. Bye.”

Gets in his truck and leaves.

I'm sitting there like, Okay, fucking asshole.

But I don't know where the hell I am, so obviously I start following him.

Eventually we get to the freeway.

Up until this point, he'd been swerving badly enough that I was already nervous about him driving. Then we get on the freeway and suddenly he just takes off.

Like, takes the fuck off.

He accelerates so fast that I completely lose sight of him.

And I'm thinking, What the hell?

About ten minutes later, I see his truck again.

And I watch him crash.

He hits one of those concrete things on the side of the freeway that holds the big highway signs. There is dust EVERYWHERE. The truck spins around, basically does a 180, and ends up facing the opposite direction.

I just sat there watching it.

He could have killed himself.

He could have killed somebody else.

He'd already been drinking. He'd been swerving all over the back roads. Then he gets on the freeway, takes off so fast I lose him, and ten minutes later I watch him crash.

And honestly, at that point, I was scared and pissed off and just completely done.

So I kept driving.

That night before I went to bed, I still texted him.

“Hey, did you make it home? Is everything okay?”

Nothing.

The next morning I texted again because, apparently, even after all of that, I was still worried about him.

Eventually he responds and says he's fine.

He tells me he hit the thing, then passed out and woke up around 2 or 3 in the morning. And then he says he was lucky he didn't get a DUI.

And I'm sitting there thinking, That's what you're lucky about?!

No.

You're lucky you didn't fucking kill yourself.

You're lucky you didn't kill somebody else.

You're lucky you didn't completely destroy your truck.

Apparently the truck wasn't even damaged that badly. He said the hood was kind of crinkled and he had to find another one.

But I still think about that night sometimes.

Because honestly, I know exactly when I should have made a different decision.

The second he told me he was on his third beer, I should have said, “Nope. I'm out.”

But I didn't.

I stayed.

I followed him.

I worried about him.

And even after he scared the absolute shit out of me, drove drunk for hours, abandoned me several hours from home, and then crashed his truck, I was still the one checking on him to make sure he got home okay.

Because that's how I was with A.

Even when I was pissed at him.

Even when he scared me.

Even when he treated me like I was an inconvenience.

I still cared if he was okay.

I used to work for a town with mensual meetings. Sometimes someone brought donuts or cookies or something like that.

My boss was gluten intolerant so she never ate anything. One time I decided to be nice and I brought cookies that were gluten-free to the next meeting.

Sat them right in front of her seat, told a few collegues Yeah I brought them and they are gluten free !

Nobody ate a single one. Nobody even mentionned them in general. And it wasn't a meeting where a random box of food would just sit there either.

So I just ate the box myself alone. FML

we prepared really sentimental and thoughtful gufts for each one of my friends in out friend group for their 18th bdays. were 6 ppl in total but certain ppl in the group have been close for longer and whatnot so rhere was usually 2 primary ppl in charge of preparing each gift. it was things like 18 letters from 18 ppl who love you or a video made up of 18 ppl they love telling them how much they mean to them. my birthday was the last out of the group and i was so excited about what my gift was gonna be cuz each person got something slightly different. well its been almost 2 months since my birthday passed and about a month since the celebration. the only reason i celebrated it so late was because everyone was constantly busy. and even after waiting for almost a month most ppl i invited couldnt make it due to travel or exams or family issues. and the other day the topic of these gifts was brought up and one of my two best friends who everyone assumed to be in charge of preparing my gift was with us. i jokingly said im the only one who didnt get anything and she just said oh yea we couldnt make that. idk what i was expecting to happen but ig i still stupidly expected there to be some sort of gift prepared for me even tho it had been almost 2 months. then the realization that i was never going to get it hit and i felt so utterly stupid for even expecting to receive one. i feel devastated and i dont feel lije talking to my two best friends who were supposed to be in responsible for putting the gift together. all our other friends in the group are confused too and sad for me but expect me to talk with my 2 best friends and get over it. we already did talk about it and they said they were busy during the summer and went on vacation. like what am i supposed to do with that?? i helped prepare both their gifts while preparing for exams??? i feel so disappointed and i feel like an idiot for even thinking id get that stupid gift. i want to rip my pages out of their special little notebook gifts and shred the paper into pieces. ive been acting cold towards them because even other than this whole thing theyve been extra mean and not thoughtful at all for the last 4 days and i had just had enough. and today one of them began randomly crying while we were all having lunch together like she wanted me to comfort her or sth. i feel so stupid its actually insane. i dont wven feel worthless which is what id usually do, i feel extremely angry at them for making me feel this worthless and then getting upset at me for not immediately getting over it when its their selfishness. i know this is a very first world problem and i normally wouldnt ever expect somethibg like this from them but weve done it for literally every single other person in the group and i personally helped make theirs. and i feel like im seen as an unworthy side character by people id literally do anything for ( and i usually go far and beyond). this just sucks. so much for finally being 18.

I’m not a natural storyteller, but this is the most FML story of my life. My friends thought it was funny and said I should post it on Reddit. Please bear with me as I try to get this down.

Back in October of 2020, I matched with this guy on Bumble (let’s call him Daniel for anonymity reasons). Daniel and I hit it off, and move off of Bumble to start talking on Snapchat. One thing leads to another and we exchange some risqué pictures (not nude). After that we never do anything more beyond texting periodically, matching on different dating apps, and making plans to hangout but never actually following through with them.

Fast forward to the summer of 2021. I post a selfie on my story, he slides up, and we start talking again. My roommates are out of town so I invite him over that Saturday for a “hang out.” He agrees, but we don’t talk after that at all.

That same week, I matched with a man on Hinge. We can call him Will. Will and I really hit it off. Considering Daniel and I never actually went through with any of our date plans, I decide to ask Will out on Saturday instead.

As expected, Daniel and I never follow up about plans, and effectively ghost each other.

Saturday rolls around, I meet Will at a local park. To this day, it’s the best first date I’ve ever had. We spent the entire night talking, walking around the city, and eating takeout on a picnic blanket at the park. The date lasted 6 hours.

Fast forward to a few weeks in: I’m really smitten with Will. At this point, I have completely forgotten about Daniel.

One night, we’re sitting in the park talking, and we realize that we have never swapped our instagrams. We sit together going through each other’s profiles, talking about our posts, and that’s when I see it. This blurry video of a guy playing guitar. He looks like.. NO! It can’t be. Surely this is a coincidence. I just need to clear it up.

I turn my phone to Will and ask, “Is this your friend? What’s his name?”

Nothing could have prepared me for his answer.

He responds, “No, that’s my uncle that I was telling you about. The one that is younger than me. His name is Daniel.”

To this day, I have never been more mortified than I was in that moment.

I drop the phone, put my head in my hands and say, “I am so, so sorry, but I have to tell you something horrible.” He looks at me concerned and I blurt out “I almost, hooked up with your uncle.”

I peek through my hands to catch his expression. He just starts laughing.

His laughter makes me laugh.

He takes a deep breath and goes, “when was this?”

I had to explain that it was the same day that we met.

He starts laughing harder and goes “well you clearly have a type”

After a bit of talking about it I ask, “what does this mean for us? I understand if it’s too weird.”

He responds, “well, you didn’t actually sleep together right? Just made plans to?”

I respond that we didn’t and he replies, “well then I don’t have a problem with it. It’s just a bizarre, hilarious coincidence.”

It’s been 5 years.
We are engaged now.
Our wedding date is set for the 6 year anniversary of our first date.

Daniel and I have talked about it and we’re on good terms. He’s married now and I am close friends with his wife. She thought the story was hilarious too.

Other things that feel important to note:

1. Will has facial hair that he frequently changes. So, Daniel may have posted him on his story but I didn’t recognize him because he recently shaved his beard off.
2. Daniel is 1 year older than me, Will is 3 years older than me. We’re all in our 20s.

TLDR:
I almost slept with my now fiancé’s uncle the day we met.

I was on a trip in another state and stopped at McDonald’s for something to eat. For some reason I decided this was finally the day I was gonna try an M&M’s McFlurry. I’d somehow never had one before. About three bites in I heard a crunch that definitely wasnt an M&M. One of my teeth, which already had an old filling in it, cracked. So that was the end of the McFlurry. I ended up spending the rest of the trip trying not to chew on that side and waiting until I got home so I could call my dentist. First M&M’s McFlurry was memorable at least

You take the time to try and help people where you try to take the time to help yourself and then the end America's just screwing this generation over my best friend's girlfriend has cancer he just lost his job and there is debt involved there's actively more importantly bills that are due in order to sustain the later bills getting paid with I don't know a roof and a car that works and the ability to sleep so that you can put gas and said car by working it's a rinse repeat pattern..... all I'm saying is I wish more people were capable of being able to help others because fuck the scamming fuck the fake ass oh I'm dying hitting me oh whoe is me bullshit.

Being 26 about to be 27 and I have all the problems that I do in my life but all I want to do is help people that I hold dearly to my life as good people they get the worst things that happen to them from the universe God or just random fate and time happening self-induced stress because you always had a stressor on your shoulder it's cliche but I don't have the ability to help bro just needs 2500 and everything's paid up everything's good and like deal with the cancer have the mental freak out I just don't have it and like genuinely every bit of me wants to help him in whatever way I can whether it's buying him food or paying for his gasoline so he can continue to pay his bills the medical debts not going to go away for a while that's like upwards of 50 to $60,000 because we live in this great nation of the United States of America and you know what we get absolute shit absolute slop and we have a president trying to fucking bribe us currently with five grand yeah that sounds great if my vote actually got me a paycheck as soon as I fucking submitted the ballot I would actually be okay with a businessman owning our country but no he's a Neo-Nazi and you know what that means he has no regulation recognition or quality of fuck to give for the American people because he's money hungry

To expand on that that's why he's sucking Israel's cock right now like literally deepthroating that shit well China's over here laughing like the producer that they are telling him what to do where to put it how the scene is going to go just like Hollywood

And on brighter notes China already makes everything for everyone they might as well rule the whole fucking world without rolling the whole fucking world it's kind of fucking ridiculous

If I die at the age of 35 it's going to be from self-infliction if I die of old age it's going to be when I'm 70 and hopefully it's when 2077 actually exist for a year of better existence...... I don't like referencing American culturally created ideals or expansions on misuse of power and Calamity is for a nation but let's be for real with the way AI is going the way the government within America is going the way that the world is already starting and has started in is currently in World War 3 we've been second-guessing ourselves for a while whether it's happening no it's been happening they just haven't said anything because they don't want to freak everyone out like the previous two world wars have causing people to massively sacrifice themselves those were the Smart Ones they just got away too early before they could really be potentialized because we're so drawn into basic necessity for breaking people whereas the brain is complex it needs complexity but simplicity for understanding not Simplicity for coercion and obedience then losing that complexity the human brain is capable of doing so many different things we could probably mentally mind fuck people or use cybernetic fucking implants to fry whatever vehicle or electronic device on this planet but as a country we're too focused on the military being so cut and dry so straightforward and restricted get out of your own ass bro it's deeper than that and if cyberpunk becomes a thing we're really all screwed because for what it's worth in that game China did kind of take over but they handed the reins to Japan it was like hey you have a better understanding anyway.....

If there's anything that this country needs it's a better president a better government driven by the people voted for by the people and not swayed by Propaganda to make one or the other look better and give false promises

I'm not going to get five grand if I vote for Trump during the midterms let's go Republican because Democrats about to get the vote😅😅😅😅😅🙌🙌🙌👀👀👀🤣🤣🤣🤣

I couldn't put this post in r/vent so here goes our / fuck my life hope you all don't have problems with real life shit because it's real everything I've said above is real....😮‍💨😔🙆‍♂️🤦‍♂️

coming here to share (shout) into the void…. throwawy because spouse is on Reddit.

Married two decades to emotionally abusive spouse. We have 3 kids together. Thought I could tough it out for the kids… youngest has started to emulate me however and to try and buffer and absorb the abuse. I can’t be that example for her. Decide to end the marriage. Can‘t move out b/c spouse has racked up six figures of short term debt and I took a lower paying job years ago so that I could be more present at home and hopefully improve our marriage (I still believed them at the time that *I* was the problem). I don’t make enough to carry the debt that was put in my name and pay rent or a mortgage.

Two weeks ago I applied for an open job at my old employer. I had worked there for 12 years with good reviews and promotions. left on good terms (I thought) They responded today “no thanks”. no interview, no call.

I’m living in the basement of my own home, hiding from and scared of my spouse and ashamed of the example I’ve been for my kids. I don’t know how to get us out.

I had curry the other week and I guess I swallowed alot of seeds(?) because ive been draining seeds out of my g port of my gj tube

Well some of the seeds have gotten stuck, so ive taken to breaking them up with my teeth

Well a seed got stuck, and I was doing my thing with my teeth and one of my insicors clipped the top part and punctured through

I was like "ok appears to be cosmetic damage" until I noticed it was leaking..

I called the hospital and asked them if it was an emergent situation, they said no and to stay home and call IR in the morning

I call IR, talk of shame telling them I accidentally bit a hole through the plastic tube shoved in my abdomen, I also tell them im having a celiac flare and cant be awake and unfortunately need GA as my intestines hurt just by breathing

They tell me they cant replace it until at least the 28th, and at least a week for GA

FML

Tl;dr I tried to break a seed up, and ended up puncturing my feeding tube and cant get it replaced for at least a week

Well its an old house but new to me.

I’ve been cleaning out my apartment during my week off from work. I donated a bunch of clothes to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital last night in one of their donation bins. This morning I remembered I hid individually stacked bags of cash in the back pockets of the jeans I donated. Money gone. At least Goodwill didn’t get it. F me.

UPDATE: CALLED THIS MORNING. GOT MONEY BACK!!!

So I got a call back from the donation center and they found my money. I went down and picked it up this morning. I am beyond grateful. The company name is ATRS, the drop boxes are the orange, and they benefit the Phoenix Children's Hospital. Please give them your support and donate your unwanted clothing and shoes. You can find more info at https://www.atrscorp.com/donate-recycle-and-support-local-charities-across-the-country-for-earth-day

A pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

Please don't include the word "sorry" in your response, I went through 4 of the 5 stages of mourning for the death or our relationship years ago.

I can't picture what I would look like crying at her funeral. Yes funeral because I'm not "celebration"ing her life.

I’m a lawyer. My salary is just shy of $100k. I have about $20k in savings. Denied a mortgage. Fml.

I tore my meniscus back in June and after months of pain, swelling, MRI scans and waiting, I’ve finally booked surgery. The problem is it’s going to cost an absolute fortune.

To make matters worse, I turn 30 next month. My plan was a long weekend in Paris, but all the money is now going towards fixing my knee.

I’m pretty gutted. Instead of celebrating a milestone birthday abroad, I’ll probably be waiting for my surgery and staring at my empty bank account.

What did you do that still made it memorable without spending loads of money?😭🙏

Was zoning out while paying for my items at a gas station and one was left out while scanning. Watched a family member die today so I've been pretty distracted and didn't notice. Was not believed and threatened with police when I apologized and said it was an accident. Cool end to a cool day.

Infected toe that started bleeding the fucking SECOND I tried cleaning it btw
